Name in English: Arch, not Rainbow

[edit]

The original version of this page perpetrated a misnomer. The Hebrew name is Me'arat Qeshet = literally "Arch Cave." The word Qeshet (otherwise romanized "Keshet") means "arch." Editors who wrote "rainbow" (in Hebrew: qeshet b'anan = literally "arch in a cloud") introduced this incorrect translation, which requires revision. -- Deborahjay (talk) 11:22, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
